Alpha Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 By Ben Fenwick EDMOND, Oklahoma (Reuters) - An Oklahoma man desperate to save his marriage by appearing like a hero to his wife ended up in police custody on suspicion of staging a crime where he hired burglars and foiled their fake robbery attempt, police said on Friday. Trent Spencer, 27, of Edmond, north of Oklahoma City, was charged this week with the misdemeanor crime of filing a false report, said police spokeswoman Glynda Chu. According to police, Spencer, a high school teacher, paid two students $100 each to break into his house and try to make off with a stereo. The masked students tied his wife with duct tape and her husband was in the house just in time to foil the supposed crime, police said. Police said Spencer attacked the two in a choreographed fight, even hitting one with a board that he had cut to break in half. The plan was going well until his wife freed herself and called police, something Spencer did not anticipate, police said. Police rushed to the scene and eventually tracked down the fake burglars. "It was the most bizarre hoax we've ever had," Chu said. "It's sad because he was so desperate." :blink:... What a great idea.

montpics Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 He was total nuts till he found that his plan failed.
Daeval Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 I've heard of crap like this before. I remember one where he paid them to fake-kidnap the wife, and they actually kidnapped her and ran off. Bet that guy felt even more stupid than this one.
